Common mistakes before purchasing a AVSEC course

1. Buy without confirming what training you need

The most common mistake is to enroll without first asking the company, the person in charge of security, or the HR department. HH. or person in charge of airport ID accreditation.

The AVSEC 11.2.6 training is aimed at personnel who need to access Security Restricted Areas unaccompanied. But each position may have different needs depending on the type of work, access area, airport or specific procedure.

2. Thinking that the certificate is airport ID accreditation

The AVSEC certificate certifies that you have passed the corresponding training, but it is not the same as the airport card or accreditation.

Aena explains that the issuance of security cards corresponds to the accreditation process for people or vehicles that carry out their activity at the airport site. It also indicates that accreditations allow access only to authorized areas.

Therefore, before purchasing the course, check how the certificate fits into the procedure that your company is going to manage.

3. Enter the student's data incorrectly

Another common mistake is writing the student's name, surname, DNI, NIE, passport or email wrong. These data are important because they are used for registration and for subsequent course management.

Before paying, check everything calmly. A small error can generate unnecessary procedures.

4. Not checking whether registration should be individual or group

If the training is needed by only one person, individual registration is usually sufficient. But if a company needs to train multiple employees, it's worth reviewing the options for group enrollment, volume discounts, and consolidated billing.

Confirming it before purchasing helps to better organize the accesses, certificates and data of each student.

5. Not checking the validity and use of the certificate

The AVSEC 11.2.6 certificate is valid for 5 years in Spain, but it must always be used within the procedure that corresponds to your company, position or airport.

Before enrolling, make sure that the requested course is the one that has been requested for your airport ID accreditation process.

6. Leave it for the last minute

Even if the course is online, it is not a good idea to wait until the last day. The AVSEC training must be completed, the exam must be passed and the certificate must be downloaded to be used for the corresponding procedures.

After purchasing, the student receives their credentials by email, accesses the content, takes the final test and downloads the certificate in PDF after passing.

Organizing it with margin avoids rush, errors and blockages in the accreditation process.
